J K Rowling - part IV

Who Do You Think You Are? JK Rowling: Harry Potter and the riddle of the invisible author, review (Telegraph)
"There was – and I’ve noticed this before – an ever-present air of mild anxiety about her; even when she smiles, it’s an anxious-looking smile: her mouth seems to want to turn down at the corners. She came across a bit like a favourite teacher from primary school (as a matter of fact, she did use to teach). Imagine if Miss Honey, the lovely but downtrodden teacher in Roald Dahl’s Matilda, had become a multimillionaire author. .......So in the end we know lots about JK Rowling’s ancestors but still not much about her. The truth remains hidden. Unless of course the truth is that she’s simply a pleasant, courteous, fairly ordinary woman with a preternatural flair for writing stories. Which I reluctantly suppose is possible."

.....So the ultra private Mrs J Murray, aka J K Rowling, aka Joanne Rowling breaks cover. Well almost. If you are a fan of Roald Dahl’s Matilda you may notice a similarity with HP1. Is Mrs J Murray, aka J K Rowling, aka Joanne Rowling a fan too ? I think she is rather more than that....
